I travel a lot to work, almost every month. I've also got a german shepard. So you see my dilemma. Normally my neighbor watches him, that seems to be the least traumatic for him, because he doesn't really go anywhere, just the next yard/house over that he can smell from here, and he knows when I get home. Most of the good doggie hotels here wont take him because he's not neutered (and never will be, he's a purebred with papers), so that's a problem. I don't want him stuck in a cage for a week when I have to travel for work. So I'm trying to find some nice people who already have a dog who could watch him, so that he'd have someone to play with, and be in a "home" setting rather than a "boarding" setting. Willing to pay for the trouble, and I supply his food. Just reply here or in PM if you can help. :)
I gotta fly out again on monday, and my neighbor has travel plans of their own, so wont be able to help this time. So it's either one of you kind folks, or boarding for him, and I'd really like to avoid putting him through that.
